Installation: "Fatal error" message

Hi, All.

I've just installed CMSB on a client's server, but when I run the admin.php - http://www.wilmot.ca/cmsAdmin/admin.php - I get the following error message:

======

Notice: Use of undefined constant PATH_SEPARATOR - assumed 'PATH_SEPARATOR' in c:\inetpub\www.wilmot.ca\cmsAdmin\lib\init.php on line 125

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_include_path() in c:\inetpub\www.wilmot.ca\cmsAdmin\lib\init.php on line 125

======

Any idea what would cause this, please?

Hi Nigel,

Is this a new install or an upgrade?

Try re-uploading the lib folder to the server.

Let me know if that works.

Hi, Jason.

This is a new install.

I uploaded the lib folder again, but I'm still getting the same error message: http://www.wilmot.ca/cmsAdmin/admin.php.

Could this mean that the client's server is incompatible with your server requirements? http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/cmsbuilder/install.html

Just tried your suggestion. Now I'm only getting a single error message, not two:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_include_path() in c:\inetpub\www.wilmot.ca\cmsAdmin\lib\init.php on line 125

Hi,

I want you to create a file called info.php. Inside, put this code:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>


put this file anywhere on the server and run it. At the very top of the file it will say: PHP Version and give a number (ex. 5.3.0) What version number does it give you? I think they're using a version that is less than php 4.

Let me know.

Hi, Jason.

http://www.wilmot.ca/info.php

This says PHP Version 4.2.2.

Ahh, that's the issue. You need PHP 4.3.2+ or any version of PHP released in the last 6 years.

That version is almost 8 years old! http://php.net/ChangeLog-4.php#4.2.2

Probably time to upgrade.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

CMS Builder requires PHP 4.3.2 or higher. You may want to contact the hosting provider to see about upgrading your service.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Jason and Dave.

I'll ask my client to upgrade their server.
